[Bug] Gifs don't upload on the instance

I tried to upload a gif but I get this error message when doing so:

{"data":{"msg":"Failed external validation","files":null},"state":"success"}

I can upload any other type of image but gifs always fail for some reason.
Does anyone have any clue what could be going wrong? There's obviously something wrong with pictrs but I'm not sure what.

Do any gifs work for you?

My assumption would be that the content scanner developed by our instance admin doesn't support gifs (or media with multiple frames). Uploading them to another image host would probably be the solution here IMO
